In the latest New Scientist there’s an article about how Malachite
Sunbirds in South Africa are beginning to hover to exploit the tubular
flowers of an introduced South American shrub. In the comments someone
from the Seychelles responded to the statement in the article that
hummingbirds are only found in the Americas by saying ‘we have
hummingbirds here, they are grey’. What bird is he seeing?
